In one of the biggest leaks in US military history, 90,000 records of incidents and intelligence reports about the war in Afghanistan obtained by the whistleblowers’ website Wikileaks were made available to the Guardian, the New York Times and the German weekly Der Spiegel. The files reveal hundreds of civilians killed by coalition troops, ‘friendly fire’ deaths and shadowy special forces, painting, as the Guardian puts it, “a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan”.
Over the fold: Julian Assange on the war logs and war log links.

Leslie H. Gelb wrote in his opinion column in The Daily Beast: What does the secret documents released by Wikileaks tell us about U.S. politics to Afghanistan and Pakistan? You have to say immediately that tells us nothing important that did not already know. There has been “informed” of years stories detailing how the Pakistani military intelligence has been providing weapons, money and intelligence to the Afghan Taliban, which in turn have been killing American soldiers.

Wikileaks updated their Afghan War Diary page a couple of days ago with the inclusion of a mysterious 1.4GB AES-encrypted file labelled “insurance”. More info here:
